Pros

RRSP package was good. A few decent employees who you would want to be friends with.

Cons

Was told by my manager that I was (and I quote) "grossly underpaid as my counterparts, because I was a married female". Too much micromanaging by managers Lots of backstabbing by coworkers in your department. Managers are hired that have no idea about the organization, and don't take the time to learn about it.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I’m so sorry to hear that you experienced some negative issues while here at Packers Plus. I don’t want anyone to have those types of experiences here so I’d appreciate it if you would reach out to me directly so we can talk further. I want to do my best to make sure no one else has your experiences either. Will you please send me an email and we can talk further? I am at Heidi.swartz@packersplus.com

Terrible managment of a company on a downward slide.

Pros

This company provides competitive pay and benefits with all of the other larger service companies out there. Horrible Management.

Cons

The problem is this company is not a large service company and likes to act that way. They are positioning themselves terribly for the next few years.

Pros

Generous salary. It was the only reason I put up with the cons.

Cons

- Never had the impression that managers really knew what was going on with their business or even some of the laws they're expected to follow! All I saw were people who inflated their abilities. - Lots of nepotism. A lot of the higher ups hire their family and close friends. If any of these people regularly cause unnecessary work for you, you're encouraged to "not say anything because their friend/relative would know someone with the authority to put you out of a job." - Dishonest management who will tell you one thing and throw you under the bus when it suits them. (document everything if you decide to work here!) - Lack of policies and extremely inefficient workflows. - Lack of training. You'll have to just "wing it" most of the time because even the people above you don't know enough to answer any of your questions. - Poor communication. - Poor business decisions. There's more I could contribute to the cons section, but to sum it all up, this is an extremely unpleasant place to work. You'll be surrounded by people you don't trust and will eventually be worried about job security. It's just not worth it.
